I.
writing is speaking,
& comprehending

can you speak well,
& comprehend well?

who has given you
sanction thus?

II.
a constructive fable:
woman writes a philosophy
that solves all the universe's mysteries

(she's a poet, doctor &
cosmologist)

but she cannot find a reader to
comprehend the finished text

many can pronounce the words
and follow various logics

many claim to know the
book and its meanings

many careers & cottage
industries are created,

but the conclusions
in the book are never
implemented -

and mankind suffers
an indignant death.

III.
is it even important
to read well, speak well,
and write well?

how would society change if
the poorest could compete
intellectually with the richest?

would riots ensue over precious
resources?

IV.
what are words?
look at this page:

they're phonetical,
symbolic, historical,
suggestible, fluid,
dynamic, keys
to your whole being,

as you know
yourself.
